Great $20 purchase - SKIP - SHIFT
I bought the CAGS Skip-Shift disconnect kit from ZIP ($19.95) and installed it the other day. Took only a few minutes. Got rid of the uncertainty when shifting from first to second with a possibility or going into fourth.
No question now!
I highly recommend this Skip Shift Disconnect Plug Kit.

...might have to give it a try. 
How long to get it after you ordered it?

Installing one of these was the first thing I did to my car when I bought it. No regrets - easy install - and lets me chose the gear.

It was delivered within three days after I ordered, no special shipping was requested. Just jack up the back, un hook the connector on the tramission (right rear), snap the two connectors in place, lower the car and off you go. No fuss, no muss, and no shift into fourth!

I just ordered one from Corvette Accessories Unlimited : http://www.cau-llc.com/
I have used them before and they were good to deal with. I've had my C5 MN6 since last November and the 1 to 4 shift has really been getting to me. This thread helped me make up my mind to do it!
